Default New Parker Owner

I was introduced to Parker shotguns by my bird hunting partner. He purchased a 16ga. that was made in the twentys a few years ago. This was the first Parker that I had ever seen. He then purchased a 12ga. last year. All this time he was telling me about Parker shotguns and educating me on the different frame sizes and configurations. I had never really liked sxs shotguns. I have a 20ga. Franchi o/u and a Beretta ultra light deluxe 12ga. o/u. Then he started educating me on Parker repros. Then about a month ago a mutual friend of ours was shooting some birds over a young dog in my friends field where we all train our dogs. When this mutual friend retrieved his gun from his truck it was a Parker 28ga. d/t repro. I asked him if I could see the gun. He handed it to me and I instantly fell in love. It felt so great, the balance and weight was unbelievable. When I through the gun up to my shoulder it was as if I was pointing at something with my extended arm. I knew right then that I would have to have one someday. I didn't know how soon that day would be because three days ago I made a deal to buy a 28ga. with 26" bar. s/t english stock Parker repro. The gun has never been shot and has 100% of the case coloring and not a single blemish on the wood. Besides my wife and children it is the prettiest thing I have ever seen. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
